Windows 10 pixelated icons text menus

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community. I regret the inconvenience caused to you. Let me help you.

Please try the below steps and check if it helps,

Method 1:

I would like you to check if the screen resolution is maximum.

Follow these steps to do so.

• 
  Right click on Desktop and select Screen Resolution.
  
• 
  Check if screen resolution is maximum.
  

Method 2:

The ClearType technology in Windows helps make the text on your screen as clear and smooth as possible and can help make text easier to read over long periods of time. If the text on your screen looks fuzzy, make sure ClearType is turned on.

• 
  Open Search.
  
• 
  In the search box, enter ClearType, then tap or click
  Adjust ClearType text.
  
• 
  Make sure the Turn on ClearType check box is selected, and then tap or click
  Next. On each page, tap or click the text sample that looks best to you.
  
• 
  On the last page of the tuner, tap or click
  Finish to save your settings. You might be asked for an admin password or to confirm your choice.

I would also suggest you to uninstall the graphics card driver and reinstall it.

Since the issue started after the graphic card driver installation, this may occur if the graphic card drivers are not installed properly.

Let’s also try the following method and then check.

Method 3:

You may try to uninstall and reinstall the graphic card drivers and check.

Step 1:

Uninstall the graphic card drivers.

• 
  Press Windows key + X on the desktop Screen and select
  Device manager.
  
• 
  Expand Display adapter and right-click on
  driver and select ‘uninstall’.
  
• 
  Restart the computer.
  

Step 2:

You may refer to the computer manufacturer website and try installing Windows 10 graphic card drivers and check.



Hope it helps. Please reply to us with the status of the issue.

 

horrible pixelated text and icons on high res display

Hi Thomas,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

As per the issue description you are facing issue with the resolution. All icons and text are huge, blurry and pixelated.

Wrong screen resolution is an issue in the most cases. Some updates may disrupt your screen resolution, and changing it back to normal, should fix things up. Try the steps provided below and see if it helps.

• Right click on Desktop and choose Personalization
• In the down left corner, click on Display
• Click on Adjust Resolution
• Choose your resolution and click OK

If resolution changing doesn’t help, first thing you want to do next is to check if your video drivers are compatible with Windows 10, if they’re not, uninstall them and install the compatible ones. Here’s how to do that:

• Click on the Start button, and type “Device Manager” on the search bar.
• Open Device Manager, expand "Display Adapters”.
• Find and double-click Display Adapters from the left panel.
• Right-click the device, and click Uninstall.
• Windows will prompt you to confirm the device’s removal. Click
  OK to remove the driver.
• After the uninstallation is complete, reboot your computer.
• After you have successfully uninstalled the driver, please go to the computer manufacturer’s website, download the Windows 10 Display driver for your computer and check.
• Follow Step 1 till 3. Then go to the driver and click on it.
• Click on the driver tab and update the driver and restart your computer.

Hope this would help. If issue still persists, post back with current status of your computer and result of proposed suggestions, we will be happy to assist you.

Regards,

 

Speech to Text on Windows 10 Mobile (On Lumia ICON-Verizon)

Hello,
FT-1960.

Thank you for posting your query to Microsoft Community. I understand that the speech to text function has been removed from your messaging and email after upgrading your Lumia ICON to Windows 10 Mobile.

You can use the speech to text function by using Cortana.

Please follow the steps below:

• Launch Cortana.
• Tap on the Mic icon.
• Say the keyword "Send a text message".
  • Cortana will ask who do you want to text. Provide the contact name of the person whom you want to text and the text message that you want to send.
• Cortana will then ask if you would like to send or add more. Press the
  Mic icon again and say your command.

I understand that this process may be tedious. Please use
Feedback Hub app to help make Windows Mobile better. Share your suggestions and concerns by using the said app.

You may also use a third party app called
Text-To-Speech.

Hope this helps.

Feel free to post back if you need further assistance.
